woohoo an old book I have had sitting around just sold. Only two quid but that is two quid more than I had a moment ago

Now to figure out how cheaply I can post it...

Whooshes back.
Very rude, scruffy young man tried to tell me that I had to apply for everything they printed for me. This was because I didn'y apply to work on reception at a vets - being horribly allergic to animal hair is no excuse.
They gave me a survey to do on their service - silly young man!

Sky fitted at DD2's.

I WILL now finish this application form.

Would love to see what you put on the survey :eek::rotfl:

Good luck with the form!

It's all for their silly targets Bookie, if you go and then choose to terminate the interview as your unsuitable for the job, then it's a positive tick to them because you went on the interview. Ridiculous isn't it.

Morning all, I'm waiting for the cheque for my car and playing around with budgets. It's all pretty grim, difficult decisions for OH

Pooky

Morning all

Had to be at hospital at 8.30 for DH's physio appointment, they still won't touch him....this going round in circles is really beginning to pee me off now....not to mention the £10 in taxi fares we have to pay out each ruddy time.

Having huge issues with an amazon seller - they sent my parcel on the 17th November, they didn't bother sending it recorded and it's not arrived...they keep saying wait it will get there and if it hasn't arrived by 10th December they'll send a replacement, if they've got one in stock (which they haven't at the moment) or as soon as stock comes in.....that's no good I need the money back to go and buy a replacement for christmas...have started a dispute with Amazon and they say they'll resolve it by 19th December.....still leaving it far to late :mad:

Morning (just)!

There must be a back Gremlin about - I'm going to the docs this afternoon. I have a pain in my back which starts at the top of my left butt cheek:o

Just having a cheese and ham toastie while I wait for nathan to wake up and then off to O2 for my new SIM (tried to wangle a free iphone from tmobile but they weren't having it :rotfl:), have acquired second hand phone from BIL so when I get a job I can get Ivan in my grubby mitts

I applied for 2 more jobs online last night (one is even tax related) so will have to wait and see.

Must fill in job search diary for tomorrow's signing on too...

Pooky, have you checked to see if you're eligible for transport costs to the hospital?

Bookie, if they tell you to apply for everything, then do. But make sure you claim the transport back. They'll soon get sick of paying you to go to interviews and then getting shouted at by the company for sending unsuitable people. Meanwhile, you'll get practice in applications and interviews. Or just apply and mention your allergy in the application so they throw it straight in the bin.

I'm so annoyed with my family. I mentioned to dad and sister about doing the CC chargeback for the Leeds tickets that never arrived, and the both said they can't/wont do it. Dad's out of pocket too so you'd think he'd want to get it sorted, but no. So that's me £120 down with no chance of seeing it again. So that's the end of me and my family where money's concerned - I'm not even going to buy sisters ticket for next weekends gig anymore cos I doubt I'll get it back. I'm tempted to say that's the end of me and my family full stop, but that's just being petty and childish.

Glad to hear you've reached a point where you've had enough. Perhaps cutting them off completely is a little OTT but there's no harm in letting them know they can't take the P like they have been. You might find that once you start saying no they will gradually stop asking. Expect sulking and tantrums first though;)

Ames, good decision I think - why on earth would they not want to claim it back?

bookseller1980

I had the same problem with Amazon a couple of years back - not used them since.

Application done. I will hand deliver tomorrow.
